The STREAM Model
Description:
The STREAM model is a flexible learning design model developed in the context of Science and Technology, Aarhus University for designing blended and online learning. The model is based on pedagogic principles derived from flipped classroom, just-in-time teaching, peer instruction, and active learning.
The design would typically represent a week or other similar teaching unit.
